I think the issue has been "spun" by Clinton. As Sanders pointed out Clinton ran against Obama in 2008. Sanders defended himself quite well. He has been a very strong supporter of Obama, but disagrees with him on certain issues. Do we want an Obama "clone"? Republicans want to tie the two to Obama. Obama is not running for re-election and their attacks on Obama are therefore totally lame. The question is what specific candidates have to say on specific issues. I plan to support Clinton, vehemently, if she is the nominee, btw.
We can't have any Republican especially a PRO-TORTURE Republican win the White House.
Literally does not mean figuratively and yes I do believe that torture is literally medieval.
Do we really want to go backwards 1000 years? I would like to see more focus from Clinton and Sanders towards criticisizing the Republican frontrunner and his ultra conservative views and rude behaviour.

I don't think it is disloyal to run in the primary against an incumbent President. Reagan did it in 1976 and later went on to win in 1980. People should have a choice. If you are going to talk about disloyalty, Lieberman and other Dems have supported Republicans in the general election. Of course, I am far from being a "loyal" Democrat since I voted for Nader in 2008 when PA was a safe state. The point I am making, however, is that it shouldn't be wrong to support a democratic primary in the Democratic party. As for Clinton, my current intention is to vote for her if she wins the nomination. She would certainly be better than someone like Trump or Cruz. Sanders is bringing people like me back into the Democratic tent. Although you could say I am more of an independent than a Democrat. You could also say that I am an independent Democrat.

Using Palin logic, Bernie should be an expert on foreign policy since Vermont shares a border with Canada. Right?
